There’s
darkness involved. In the world we live in. Many people suffer, many
people search for the light. The light side of life. In the light
side of life, darkness is not welcomed. It has to be out of our world
to live the life we want to see. Banish all darkness on the side way.

Escapism. Because we see the darkness everyday. Really close. On the
news, in the eyes of our neighbours who are afraid of strangers, afraid
of life itself, seeking for truth, a safe and comfortable truth. The naked truth. Is bold and ugly. It it filled with fear and anger,
with deep grief about the sadness of our world. At the same time it is
enlightened as hell. A warm and loving fire, cheerful bliss and a caring
attention to each other.

Darkness and Light.
Mmmmmmm I like the taste of it.

You simply cannot enlighten by banning the darkness away. Darkness want
to be seen, in a gentle and loving way, nourished, so it can soften and
release it’s sticky cramp and demanding attitude.
If I coach
people it is so beautiful to see when they embrace the darkness inside
themselves, really embracing yourself in áll aspects. Wauw …… it gives
instant relief and deep relaxation. Letting go of this tension:
‘Darkness YOU are nót allowed here! And the darkness grabs of course
everything that’s there to hold on to and stick!’ to let this go, brings
joy, opens up. People start to feel proud that they are taking care of
themselves by give space to all of the darkness and all of the light in
themselves. This relief ……… hmmmmmmm so nice!

And, what we can do
on a personal level, we can do in the world. Embracing the darkness in
the world like we embrace the darkness in ourselves.
